I once read that what matters most in life is not how much success you had but how significant your life was. This has never been more true this summer. To help prepare other teachers for the new Education curricular framework, I gave series of seminars to teachers in Surigao, Bukidnon and Camiguin.
Background
Understanding by Design is a revolutionary curricular framework that has in the curriculum planners’ mind the end result of facilitating learning. It is aimed at understanding the bigger ideas and retention of understanding so that it endures throughout life. Maximum understanding and sustained interest are assured through essential questioning and designing assessments of learning that are contextualized and realistic.
Objectives
At the end of the three day seminar-workshop, the participants were expected to:
1. Evaluate the limitations of the present curriculum design, implementation and assessment of learning;
2. Appreciate the backward design process and consider its value in helping avoid common inadequacies in curriculum and assessment planning
3. Provide an initial syllabus for the first grading period/quarter based on the UBD framework and the DepEd learning goals
